He wasn’t perfect — no striker ever was, he missed a load of sitters, had spells where the ball looked like a bar of soap. But he gave us moments — proper Everton moments — when we needed it most.
That header against Palace? That kept us up...
He was a good player in a few games in a team that had clear instructions to not make any pass that's not a hoof - him making the shortest pass forward made him stand out.
He's shown there's a player in there but it's up to him (and our coaching...
See, prior to injury, he was our best player in a number of consecutives games and everyone was getting excited about his potential... I'm not sure how he has now gone back to 'did ok a few times'?
Am I remembering that initial period incorrectly?
He's done just about okay at best a few times and is 22 mate, unless he shows something, anything, he'll remain a PSR fiddle.
We did get the better end of the deal but we'll also need him to be at least a consistently okay player instead of a...
Everyone thought he was just a "psr fiddle" when we brought him in. He surprised many of us with his early performances and now everyone is saying he has to do better?
He is doing fine. Whether he ends up a regular starter or not, we clearly got...
With how crap he was in 99/100 situations it pretty much was the case :lol:
Both Charly and Ndiaye are what we should be going for in terms of ability and potential, so hopefully it goes on in that direction.
Well im hoping it changes. Just seeing a player like Alcaraz with a bit of guile and vision shows where we've got it so wrong. We should have been deducted points just for playing doucoure in the no 10 role.
I cant speak for anyone else but ive been banging on about doucoure for years. And how unbelievably some posted about giving him a new contract for that bournemouth goal.
Just like calvert lewin. We're down there with the dross because these...
I'm not saying you weren't banging that drum mate, just generally as a fanbase it seems the opinion wasn't yours (and mine too, I've spoken against the donkeyman for years now :lol: ).
In reality we handled the situation with DCL much better...
Well he has to play more first like. He's shown decent progress in limited game time (due to injuries too, I know).
Hopefully he's fit and proves himself to be a decent player, as we'll need a bag full of (at least) decent players in the coming...
